Will an early C-3 hood fit a '77 if it is a wiper delete style? |confusing| |confusing|

There's a thread in the Body forum somewhere that may have an answer for you. The wiper door system was on 68-72 model years so you'd need to find a '73 or later. But it seems to me that there were some issues with a slight difference in the shape of the hood where it meets the fenders at the windshield.

Hope that helps a little.

Charlie-just check out the parts catalogues. See if the years are 68-82, or just 68-72. Hope this helps too.

The hood itself may fit, but keep in mind that the latch system is different.Mike

Also I know that the latches changed from Early to late, but I'm not sure how far back the latches on the early stuff goes. I know my 75 has early and my uncle's 80 has late.
